BMO type space associated with Neumann operator and application to a class of parabolic equations (Q2669210)

Let \(\mathrm{BMO}_{\Delta_{N}}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) denote a BMO space on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) associated to a Neumann operator. In this paper the authors show that a function \(f \in \mathrm{BMO}_{\Delta_{N}}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) is the trace of \(\mathcal{L}u= u_{t}-\Delta_{N}u=0\), \(u(x,0)=f(x)\) where \(u\) satisfies a Carleson-type condition \[ \sup_{x_{B}, r_{B}}r_{B}^{-n}\int_{0}^{r_{B}^2}\int_{B(x_{B}, r_{B})}\{ t|\partial_{t} u(x,t)|^2+|\nabla_{x}u(x,t)|^2\}dx dt < \infty. \] Conversely, this Carleson condition characterizes all the \(\mathcal{L}\)-carolic functions whose traces belong to the space \(\mathrm{BMO}_{\Delta_{N}}(\mathbb{R}^n)\). Furthermore, by this characterization the authors prove the global well-posedness for parabolic equations of Navier-Stokes type with the Neumann boundary condition under smallness condition on the initial data in \(\mathrm{BMO}^{-1}_{\Delta_{N}}(\mathbb{R}^n)\).
